Asymptomatic hyperuricaemia jeopardizes renal function reserve in healthy subjects: Early renovascular compromise is more robust in males
Introduction: Whether asymptomatic hyperurcaemia (AH) necessitates treatment is controversial. Increased serum uric acid (sUA) promotes degradation of the vasodilator nitric oxide and may thus impair the renal vasodilator response. Thus, impaired renal function reserve (RFR) may be an early pathogen...
